Re: Heuer 844 Monnin bezel question

Hi Steve..

I'm not entirely sure what a 980.006n is, I'm not familiar with the 'n' suffix on a 980.006?
As far as I'm aware, there is the thick cased 980.006 and the later thinner cased 980.006L.
This is relevant, as I would say that a bezel from any of the thicker cased models will fit.. Ie. 980.006, 844 or any model with this case. One point to note, is that these models usually have tramline bezels - ie has a metal ring between the glass and insert. It's also possible that a donor bezel may sit very slightly lower near the glass, as the monnin insert is slightly angled. This lower inner edge isn't such a bad thing, as the glass will protect the insert from wear.
